It does have an interesting look to it this morning and I'm a bit surprised its still their being so close to Ophelia I thought yesterday that this system would of been pulled to the north due to the big O circulation.

Whatever it is, it has better looking convection than Ophelia at the moment.

Maria "threatening" Iceland? LOL - I think the Icelandic people see plenty of strong extratropical storms throughout a given year, and shrug them off the way we shrug off a summer rainshower. Wind is the norm in Iceland, not the exception. ROFL

It is worth watching. If Ophelia ever decides to move out of the way, it might have a better chance. Lets see what happens with Ophelia over the next couple of days.

It is much weaker in convection but it is still there. It has lost all it's deep convection but is in a moist environment. There is shear ahead of it which will probably limit organization; however, guards should not be let down. The wave is now north-northwest of Puerto Rico and north of Hispaniola.

It is barely surviving now. If it persists until conditions in front if it become more favorable (most likely very gradually), however, it could regenerate convection.

It is now close to dissipating, despite currently only 5KT to 10KT shear and a moist environment ahead of it.

As a side note, it is interesting to note that waters are now much cooler around Florida and in the Bahamas than recently, such as before and at Katrina.

The wave has now dissipated. Ophelia is now the main thing to watch, as well as the eastern Atlantic and/or African waves.
